Chapter 2:
"You know this actually gets me all fired up. So let's do this." Natsu smirked as his fist caught fire. Natsu then charged at Sting trying to punch him multiple times but to his surprise Sting dodged every single one of them. Natsu then jumped in the air. His body then was being covered by lightning and flames!
"Roar of the Thunder Flame Dragon" Natsu roared. He was pretty sure that did the trick, but he then noticed that Minerva had stopped the roar with her own bare hands again. He gritted his teeth in annoyance at the female mage as he readied himself for Sting's attack.
Lucy clutched her fist against her chest as she uneasily waited for Sting to make his move. And sure enough, there was the White Dragon Slayer charging off at Natsu with full speed.
Sting raised his hand as he swung with a white sphere engulfing his hand, "White Dragon's Punch." He then sends extremely fast barrages as Natsu tried blocking each fist that'd come into contact with his body.
"Holy Nova" Sting said with a loud tone as his hand began glowing with a white sphere surrounding it. He then grinned at Natsu as he was about to swing at the Fire Dragon Slayer.
Natsu gave a sly toothy grin as he swung his arm at Sting sending him flying into a nearby table as glass shattered everywhere. He then took each step as flames swallowed planks of the wooden floor. Each step was impacted with a strong force as it sent the wooden planks flying everywhere.
Lucy felt a rush of relief seeing that Natsu was having the upper-hand now in the fight. She smiled as Gray stood beside her placing a hand of confidence on her shoulder. He grinned at her which meant that Natsu wasn't going to lose no matter what even if it had her involved.
"Flame-brain may be an idiot, but he never loses a fight. Well he did once, and that was to me when we were younger" Gray said with a wide grin as he watched Natsu who was standing right in front of Sting now narrowing his eyes down at him.
"Fire Dragon's Roar" Natsu said as he released a large quantity of flames from his mouth as it began charging at Sting who was sitting there with a grin on his face. Gray and Lucy widened their eyes to think that Sting was actually going to take the hit.
But suddenly, Natsu froze as his flames soon dissolved in his mouth. He stood there with widened eyes as he slowly turned his head to see Minerva with her hand out gleaming a mystic color. She had a grin implanted on her lips as Natsu soon went on his knees.
"You bastard- You cheated" Natsu said glaring at Sting as he then looked over to Lucy, "Luce- I-I'm sorry." And at that moment, Natsu hit the wooden floor with a loud bang knocked out cold. Silence filled the room until Sting spoke up gleefully.
"Heh well blondie. Looks like you belong to me now" Sting grinned giving her that look he gave before.
Lucy stood there looking at her best friend lying on the ground. She felt sorrow and anger fill her up about Natsu loosing. She wanted to run right now and hug Natsu tightly while Erza takes down Minerva and Sting for interfering with their fight. But that wasn't the case right now, the scarlet-haired mage was standing there as a dark aura surround her.
"You" Erza said narrowing her eyes towards Minerva, "That was a dirty trick for interfering for his own dirty purposes."
Minerva grinned as she crossed her arms, "Just shut it fairy trash"
"Well pack your things blondie, you're coming with me. I practically own you now" Sting stated.
Erza was really emotional about this; Lucy was like her little sister as she played the big sister role in the celestial mage's life.
"I swear it Lucy, we will bring you back!" Erza said as tears streamed down her face. The only time Lucy had seen the requip mage this upset was when the Magic Council had taken Jellal to prison. Erza couldn't help but feel guilty that she hadn't done anything to stop Natsu from making that deal with Sting, if only she had said something and done something as well, none of this would have proceeded.
"Erza... don't cry. I'll be fine. I mean you guys always find a way-"
"We're leaving now blondie." Sting then grabbed Lucy by the arm forcefully and started walking her out. Her bangs covered her bright red face, as tears trickled down her cheeks. She looked back one more time at her friends, and then stepped out the door.
Once they were out the door, Sting grabbed Lucy by the waist and hurled her over his shoulder as if she was some lifeless sack of potatoes. Lucy yelped by the sudden reaction as she dangled her arms off the White Dragon Slayer's shoulder. She honestly was in a pickle now.
"Damn! Are all you fairies such crybabies?!" shouted Sting outside. Lucy glared at Sting; this guy practically took everything from her; her, friends her nakama, and most of all her family.
I don't get it, if he hates us so much, why does he want me? Lucy thought to herself as she looked over at Sting who had a look of annoyance on his face as if she was the biggest nuisance in Fiore.
"Sting, I think we should walk to the guild because you know what happens when we go on trains..." Rogue said as he closed his eyes shivering at the thought of transportations his deepest phobia.
"Yeah whatever" Sting then stopped in his tracks as if he was thinking long and hard, "I think we should rest for the night, come on." He then began heading into the forest on the side of the road until he led them to a nearby cave and threw Lucy right onto the hard cave ground.
Lucy then stood up quietly not saying one word as she began padding herself to take all of the dust that was covered all over her skirt. She looked at Sting with a deep glare which made him grin his stupid looking signature grin. Oh how she hated that grin of his.
"So this is who gives Natsu his strength. What's so special about her anyways?" Sting questioned in his mind.
"Well I'm going to go on a walk with Fro" Rogue said as he disappeared into the deep darkness in the forest with the frog-suited exceed.
Lucy bit her bottom lip as she watched Rogue suddenly disappear deeply into the forest. She actually didn't want the Shadow Dragon Slayer to leave at all since she was left with the self-centered Sting Eucliffe of Sabertooth, someone she didn't want to be left alone with in a million years.
In a blink of an eye, Sting tied Lucy's hands together. "Just in case you don't summon any of your celestial spirits and escape."
What was this guy exactly planning on doing? Sting then pushed Lucy down, and pinned her. Lucy stared right into his eyes, as the famous Sting was on top of her, inches away from her face. His breathing was growing louder, and hotter. Lucy had to be honest, Sting was pretty good looking, but despite his looks this guy was dangerous.
Sting started to kiss Lucy's neck, inhaling Lucy's scent of vanilla and strawberries. He then stared into her chocolate brown eyes, ice blue meeting brown. The stare they had with each other was intense until he finally cracked the silence. A sudden growl emerged from the White Dragon Slayer's throat as he soon roughly crashed his lips into Lucy's.
Lucy made a muffled noise as she laid there wiggling trying to free herself somehow from Sting's grip, but it was no use he was much stronger than her. She felt helpless at a time like this since she couldn't do a thing to free herself from him.
"You know blondie I wonder what Natsu-san would do when he found out that I've marked you."
Lucy then felt the tips of long cold fingers touch the sensitive part of her neck as it brushed away her golden locks. The look in Sting's eyes was completely full of hunger as in a blink of an eye, she felt a sharp pain coming from her neck. She scanned her eyes towards Sting who had sunk his teeth into her flesh as if he was some vampire.
"LUCY KICK!" Lucy said as she raised her foot upward crashing right into the White Dragon Slayer's chin. Her fingers trembled as she placed her hands towards the area where Sting had bit her and she felt a sharp pain every single time she'd touch the sensitive part of flesh
"What did you do?"
"You'll figure out sooner or later. Anyway goodnight blondie"
Sting then removed him-self off of the celestial mage as he made his way inside of the cave. He then gestured his hand towards Lucy telling her to follow. She slowly moved her feet as she soon too was inside of the cave with the insane dragon slayer.
"Why the big grin?" Rogue asked as him and Frosch looked at Sting with curiosity. He then glanced over to Lucy who was sitting on the dusty ground clutching the side of her neck. He then knew what Sting had foolishly done.
Rogue then smacked the top of Sting's head as he exclaimed in an annoyed tone, "You idiot. Now I'm going to be stuck with your bitching tomorrow morning about this. I knew you had too many drinks."
Lucy stared at them both confused on what they were even talking about. She really wanted to know what it meant when Sting had bitten her like that. She knew it was far from related to the tales on vampires and such, so it must be something related to being a dragon slayer.
"Hey! I want some answers and I want them now!" Lucy hollered as she stood up stomping her foot on the ground, "I don't know what he is even talking about!" She then pointed towards Rogue who then looked at her with a nonchalant expression.
"I honestly don't care right now blondie" Sting said as he let out a lazy yawn as he soon went to lay on his side, "Night."
Lucy bit her bottom lip in frustration due to Sting's lack of cooperation. She then sat back down in a huff as she felt someone brush quickly against her. She then turned her head to see the Shadow Dragon Slayer sitting right next to her.
"I'm sorry about Sting. He's really a nice person once you get to know him." Rogue continued with a small smile, "He's just had too many, so he probably doesn't even know what he's done. Anyways I'm sure you're tired after the long day you've had, so I suggest you get some sleep if you want him to answer your questions tomorrow."
Lucy nodded her head as Rogue soon went to lay down to go to sleep. She then laid back staring at the roof of the cave as thoughts began to clutter her mind.
Will I ever see my friends again?
Why did he call me his property?
Why did he kiss me?
Or even more bite me?
But most importantly, why did he pick me?
"I just hope whatever he's done, can become undone" Lucy said quietly to herself as she shut her eyes soon dozing off.
.
.
It soon became morning as the light of the morning sun shined into the darkness of the cave. Sting groaned at the scene as he sat up stretching himself out. He then noticed the celestial mage who was waking up too.
Sting then looked at Lucy who was staring quietly at him. He found this moment pretty awkward as he soon then stood up dusting the dust of his pants. He decided it was time that they'd start heading to Sabertooth.
"Well let's get going to our guild."
